Brie cheeses are known world-wide for their downy white rind and cream-colored, soft interior that oozes when at the peak of ripeness and temperature. Brie’s taste is sweet and buttery with hint of almond flavor. The most prized and celebrated of all French cheeses, Brie is believed to have been created prior to the Eighth Century. Charlemagne's chronicler, Eginhard de Saint Gall, reported that the Emperor enjoyed it at the Priory of Rueil in the town of Brie in the year 774. In 1815, the Prince of Tallyrand named Brie "Le Roi de Fromages" - The King of Cheeses. At 60%, Val de Saone Brie has higher than average fat in dry matter for a double cream, as well as a moisture content of 50%. (Some other Bries contain as low as 40%, while most fall around 50%.) With its ultra-milky interior and tender rind that is not overly pungent, this Brie is a true French delicacy. This Brie comes from the Val de Saone near the river Saone. This French Brie is shipped uncut in its original form. Enjoy it with a glass of champagne!

The most unappealing Brie I've every eaten. It is completely tastless. I tried it fresh from the fridge; sitting out for 30 minuted; sitting out for 90 minutes. Made no difference. Save your money.

Brie de Saone

Might have been my lack of experience in aging this Brie but I found it after a week or so not to be soft as described nor sweet and buttery. Rather bland in fact. I prefer the softness and flavor of the Delice de Bourgogne also pasteurized.

Great crowd pleaser.

Purchased for a catered event I was doing. Great product for the price.

My sister in Maryland was thrilled receiving her delicious brie! She never thought she would receive such a tasty treat for Christmas.

Wonderful French Brie

This is a 10 inch wheel of brie with a mellow flavor and a hearty rind. Used it for brie en croute and served it to my guests on Christmas Eve. They all raved about how good it was. Well protected in insulated shipping package, with ice packs. Cold on arrival.

Try it, you will love it!!!

This French Brie is fantastic--full of flavor and soft like a brie should be. I would suggest getting this for not only yourself but also for parties or get togethers. I will order this again and give it a high mark for everything.

A Lovely Brie

This cheese offers a most pleasant change from the world of strong tasting, hard cheese. With an incredibly smooth consistency, it cuts with wonderful ease and embraces the taste buds with a flavor that is representative of some of the best cheese we've enjoyed. The higher fat content is very apparent as is the moisture content as you cut through the rind and serve it on a variety of crackers. The taste is delicate but personable and a snack featuring this cheese will be the highlight of one's day.
